The Westminster love-in reached critical proportions this week, threatening to engulf Labour tech specialist Tom Watson.
Watson apparently has been doing his damndest to embarrass the new administration by asking questions such as how many plasma and LCD TVs ministers have in their offices. The answer, it would seem, is a fair …

wait, what?

In the Commons, votes are "Ayes to the right, noes to the left". You don't fill in a bloody preference card. Are you saying Tom Watson not only voted for ID Cards but went around the back of the lobby and tried to vote again?

I'll settle for explaining then

I can read a FAQ, is that "special needs"?

From theyworkforyou.com:

"How is the voting record decided?

The voting record is not affected by what MPs and Peers have said, only how they voted in relation to that topic in the house - i.e. "aye" or "no". Votes on each topic were examined, and strength of support determined based on these votes. Follow the "votes" link next to each topic for details. Additionally, in many votes, MPs and Peers are told how to vote ('whipped') by their parties. Since the Whip is secret, we have to assume, like the Speaker, that all votes are free. "

In other words, it's still "aye" or "no". "Very strongly" is an arbitrary description of no merit based on whether the MP's party was in support or opposed to the vote. So your post, containing this "very strongly" is also abitrary and meaningless in the wider context.

Unless you read and wholeheartedly approved of their weighting system but just didn't bother to explain it. And I doubt that.

There's been more than one vote on ID cards

@dogged because there's been more than one vote in Parliament on ID cards. "Very strongly" is the most extreme TheyWorkForYou puts - actually he turned out on every vote on introducing ID cards, and voted in favour every time. Details from Public Whip here:
